Communication Strategy of Social Studies Teachers in Integrating Climate Change Issues in Semarang
type: item
description: This study examines how Social Studies teachers in Semarang, Indonesia, frame and communicate climate change issues through the lenses of environmental communication and ecopedagogy. Drawing on a structured online survey of 116 I teachers from Musyawarah Guru Mata Pelajaran Ilmu Pengetahuan Sosial Semarang, the research identifies four perceptual constructs: awareness, knowledge, perception, institutional responsibility, and self-efficacy. It classifies the topics teachers choose into pragmatic mitigation measures or constitutive identity‐building issues and their strategies, e.g., class discussions, project-based learning, visual media, and policy advocacy. Descriptive analyses show that while teachers recognize climate change and its future risks (means ≥ 4.18/5), they tend to favor conventional, one-way informational methods alongside participatory projects. By mapping these practices onto Kahn's three-dimensional ecopedagogy, cosmological, technological, and organizational, the study reveals both strengths in building planetary consciousness and gaps, including overreliance on deficit-model framing and limited cultural contextualization. The findings underscore the need for IPS curricula to integrate deliberative, community-centered pedagogies and professional development that apply critical, context-sensitive ecopedagogical practice.

type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the meaning of local wisdom values in the Syawalan tradition in Pedurungan Tengah Subdistrict, Pedurungan, Semarang, through a case study approach with qualitative methods. Syawalan tradition contains social, cultural, and religious dimensions that are in line with the objectives of Social Science Education (IPS): fostering understanding of social interaction, cultural diversity, and internalization of values in social life. Data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data validity technique uses triangulation techniques, namely triangulation of methods and sources. The results showed that the Syawalan tradition functions as a means of inheriting the values of mutual cooperation, solidarity, respect for plurality, and strengthening local identity. In the Syawalan tradition, there are essential values for the formation of good citizenship. Thus, the integration of the Syawalan tradition into social studies education can be a pedagogical strategy to preserve local wisdom while actualizing the goals of national education in building a harmonious society, nation, and state.

Development of Video-Based Contextual Teaching Materials on Social Harmony Material at SMAN 3 Semarang
type: item
description: This study aims to identify the use of social harmony teaching materials at SMAN 3 Semarang and measure student responses to developing video-based teaching materials as a solution to the limitations of existing teaching materials. This study uses the R&D (Research and Development) method. The results of the study indicate that the teaching materials used are dominated by text, such as textbooks, teaching modules, PPT, and LKPD, which provide theoretical conceptual understanding but are less relevant to the local socio-cultural context of students. The lack of integration of visual and interactive media makes learning monotonous, so that motivation and involvement in the learning process decrease. To overcome these problems, video-based teaching materials were developed that present visual illustrations, animations, and examples of local phenomena that are close to students' lives. In addition, the development of videos shows a positive response from most students. The development of video-based teaching materials has been proven to be able to create a more meaningful, interesting learning experience and encourage students to internalize the values ​​of social harmony in their lives.

Social Construction of Junior High School Social Studies Teachers in Kudus Regency on the Merdeka Curriculum
type: item
description: The Merdeka Curriculum brings challenges for social studies teachers in adjusting learning. The meaning of the teacher's social construction is a research gap that can be studied in facing this challenge. This study examines the social construction of junior high school social studies teachers in Kudus Regency in understanding the Merdeka Curriculum using Peter L. Berger's Social Construction Theory. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with the data source obtained from Grade VII & VIII Social Studies Teachers, Principal, and Vice Principal for Curriculum at SMP NU Putri Nawa Kartika. Data collection techniques used in this research are interviews and documentation. The results showed that three stages of social construction shape the meaning of the Merdeka Curriculum. Externalization can be seen from the teacher's adaptation in understanding and implementing the curriculum. Objectivation appears through institutionalizing the principles of the Merdeka Curriculum into learning practices. Internalization shows deep meaning that develops gradually, forming teachers' professional beliefs and practices.

Teachers' Challenges in Differentiated Social Studies Learning Implementation in Junior High Schools in Jepara Regency
type: item
description: The central gap in implementing differentiated learning lies in the mismatch between curriculum demands and practices caused by limited understanding, resources, time, policy support, and adaptive evaluation. This research aimed to identify teacher preparation, analyze the obstacles, and identify teachers' efforts in implementing differentiated social studies learning in the Merdeka Curriculum at SMP Negeri 1 Bangsri and MTS Hasyim Asy'ari. Researchers use qualitative methods which produce qualitative descriptive data through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The key informant in the research is the social studies teacher. The findings showed that the teachers' efforts in implementing differentiated learning were by attending training provided by the school and the government and then making teaching modules according to the student's needs. The significant obstacles faced are time limitations, lack of understanding and facilities, and the use of technology that has yet to be optimal. The efforts made by teachers are using various learning strategies, utilizing media and methods in differentiated learning, and selecting effective assessments and evaluations such as summative and formative assessments. This research suggests that increasing teacher training, providing additional facilities at school, and optimizing school support are crucial to ensure the successful implementation of differentiated social studies learning.

type: item
description: The Strengthening of the Pancasila Student Profile Project (P5) is a character-building program for students implemented through the "Merdeka" curriculum. The application of P5 in junior high schools in Cirebon Regency has encountered issues due to various levels of understanding throughout the stages of socialization, internalization, and implementation. These differences have led to varied perceptions among teachers in constructing P5 activities. This paper aimed to analyse the social construction of Social Studies (IPS) teachers regarding P5, the implementation of P5 activities, and the analysis of students' social behaviour in junior high schools in Cirebon Regency. The study employed a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach, using in-depth interviews and observations of P5 activities. The results showed that the social construction of Social Studies teachers varied, interpreting P5 as: (1) character and skill-strengthening activities, (2) product-oriented activities, both material and immaterial, and (3) a government program implemented according to the school’s capacity. The study concluded that these varying teacher interpretations influenced students' behaviour. This research provides significant insights into how P5 activities can impact students' social behaviour.

Behavioral and Social Interaction Patterns of Children from Female Migrant Workers in Bawang, Batang
type: item

Evaluation of Differentiated Learning for Social Studies in theIndependent Curriculum at Semarang Middle Schools
type: item
description: Differentiated learning is a fundamental aspect of the Independent Curriculum, officially adopted as Indonesia’s national curriculum in the 2024/2025 academic year. Although the curriculum promotes adaptive and inclusive learning tailored to individual student needs, its implementation in Social Studies (IPS) instruction in middle schools in Semarang City encounters significant challenges. This study evaluates the application of differentiated learning strategies, focusing on planning, implementation, and evaluation stages while identifying obstacles faced by teachers. A mixed-methods approach with an embedded concurrent design was employed, combining quantitative data from ANOVA and Pearson correlation tests with qualitative insights from interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Data were collected from four representative schools, with Sekolah Mandiri Berbagi emerging as a model for effective implementation through innovative and adaptive instructional strategies. The findings indicate that schools with comprehensive planning and responsive implementation achieve better learning outcomes. However, challenges such as insufficient teacher training, limited resources, and time constraints hinder the overall effectiveness of differentiated learning. These results underscore the need for strengthening teacher competencies, improving educational infrastructure, and adopting more adaptive teaching approaches. This study offers actionable insights to enhance differentiated instruction under the Independent Curriculum, contributing to educational reform in Indonesia.

Education for All: Strengthening Social Behaviours of Students in Diversity and Inclusion-Based School
type: item
description: The diversity in Indonesia necessitates educators to create an environment accommodating this diversity in schools. This goal aligns with making education a means for "learning to live together," which is essential in 21st-century education. This paper employs a qualitative approach and is located at SMP Tunas Global. This study examines students' social behaviour and the process of strengthening social behaviour in diversity-based and inclusive schools. The research is conducted at SMP Tunas Global, a school known for its diversity and inclusion. Data sources include interviews with six students with special needs and typical students from grades 7, 8, and 9, observation notes during learning and additional activities, and student enrolment documents. Field study results indicate a tendency for role and expressive behaviours among students within the inclusive environment. However, social relationships between students with special needs and typical students do not naturally form. The limitation of parental consent for some students' condition information hampers the implementation of certain personalized programs.

The Meaning of Environmental Care in Strengthening Pancasila Student Profile at SMPN 1 Slawi
type: item
description: This research was motivated by the low awareness and implementation of environmentally conscious practices in Tegal Regency, where 18.2 tons of waste are generated daily. This issue is further compounded by the prevalence of littering and a general lack of awareness and understanding of effective waste management practices. This study aims to explore the significance of environmental stewardship among students and its internalization through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project at SMP Negeri 1 Slawi. The research employed a qualitative case study approach that included observation, in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and documentation. The findings indicate that despite receiving the Adiwiyata award, implementing environmentally friendly practices at SMP Negeri 1 Slawi remains inadequate. The observation of students littering and the lack of responsibility exhibited in sorting waste suggest that further improvements can be made. The Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project successfully optimized students' awareness and behaviour in maintaining cleanliness and waste management. This study suggests enhancing collaboration between schools, families, and communities, as well as government support through policies, infrastructure, and law enforcement to strengthen environmental care programs.

type: item
description: In Indonesian education, there has been a crisis of learning and a stagnation, combined with social studies teachers' incapacity to contextualize, apply, and meaningfully make relevant social studies instruction available to students.

type: item
description: The existence of Sunan Gunung Jati Tomb in Astana Village, Cirebon Regency, has become an important pilgrimage center that provides economic opportunities for the local community.
